Device fails to activate due to GPU issues.
Current configuration is at 3770k, and I'm attempting to install an MSI GTX 560 Ti. The PSU is a Corsair V550 (PCPartPicker confirms compatibility as well as the MSI site). When connected, it boots but then produces a loud screeching noise that persists until shutdown. Booting without the GPU functions normally. It seems the issue lies with the GPU or power supply wattage, not the GPU itself.
It sounds like you're noticing a loud noise similar to a screech, possibly from a PSU or GPU. The suggested power supply is 300W, but the 650 Ti’s TDP is listed as 110W—so the wattage might not match expectations. The model from 2012 with an orange label could be worth checking for any signs of wear like scratched contacts. The sound likely comes from the PSU or GPU, so reviewing the PCIe slot and GPU connections would help identify the source. Full specifications are recommended for clarity.
I've reviewed the details and confirmed it isn't a contacts being scratched. Full specifications include: Intel i7 3770k, Msi z77ma-g45, 2x8gb Kingston DDR3 RAM, 256gb SSD, and a VS450 (with white label). Attached files show the GPU connection diagram and the audio file PTT-20240322-WA0002.opus.
Your PC appears dusty, especially around the CPU cooler. I’d recommend cleaning it still. Have you considered using a different power supply unit? Are there any other parts you’re planning to replace? Did you purchase the GPU, and were there any issues beforehand?
Estimated power from the PSU wasn't sufficient. Similar issue occurred with an AMD setup; changed RAM from 750K to 7770HD. No display after removing the DVD drive and HDD (SSD used instead). Display worked afterward.
